Emerald Nodes intends to serve as a pillar supporting the large majority of the Avalanche (AVAX) network by incentivizing nodes through Nodes as a Service (NaaS). We aim to be the first truly sustainable NaaS protocol on the Avalanche network. As the daily number of smart contracts deployed on the Avalanche network grows at an exponential rate, the network will need to rapidly scale its sustainability in terms of its capacity for volume and traffic. Unfortunately, there is a high barrier of entry and little incentive to run an Avalanche Validator. Emerald seeks to strengthen the backbone of the network, by adding rewards to running nodes and hosting validators for our investors making it more user and developer friendly. For now, Emerald nodes will only be available to run on the Avalanche network, though in the future Emerald nodes will exist on a large multitude of networks. Users will be able to set up a node in seconds with a few clicks of a button, and start yielding rewards immediately. Conclusion We hope to bring a long-lasting NaaS protocol to the Avalanche network and improve upon the sustainability that some projects like StrongBlock are lacking. There is currently very little to no incentive to run Avalanche validators and we hope to become a critical part of securing and decentralizing the Avalanche network. With Emerald Nodes it is easy and stress free to make passive income and help grow and sustain the Avalanche network.
